Madras High Court Grants Anti-Piracy Injunction for Batwara 1947
A new Indian movie called Batwara 1947 came out in cinemas on August 14.
It is a drama about the Partition, and it stars an actor named Sunny Deol.
The movie was made by Aamir Khan Productions, a company owned by famous actor Aamir Khan.
Sometimes, people copy movies without permission and put them on the internet or TV.
This is called piracy, and it hurts the people who made the movie.
The movie makers asked a big court called the Madras High Court for help.
The court agreed to protect the movie and stopped people from sharing it without permission.
The court also ordered internet companies to block websites that show pirated copies.
This protection will last until September 11.
Batwara 1947, a Partition drama starring Sunny Deol and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, was released in theatres on August 14.
The makers moved the Madras High Court seeking protection from piracy and unauthorised online and cable distribution of the film.
On August 14, the court granted an interim injunction to the production house to prevent unauthorised online and cable distribution.
Justice K Surender directed internet service providers to block websites hosting pirated copies of the film.
The injunction will remain in force until September 11.
